You can import emails from your existing LDAP system using the following procedure.

  1. Navigate to the /pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system/scheduler-plugin folder.
  2. Open settings.xml file and change the email-source setting to ldap.
  3. Update the file applicationContext-email-import.properties by providing LDAP connection and query information.
    In the following properties file, ask your administrator to provide LDAP connection information. 
    # LDAP configuration
ldap.initial-context-factory=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
ldap.provider-url=ldap://localhost:10389
ldap.security-authentication=simple
ldap.security-principal=uid=admin,ou=system
ldap.security-credentials=Encrypted 2be98afc86aa7f2e4cb79bd75dd80aace
ldap.search-filter=(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)
ldap.search-path=ou=users,ou=system
# ldap.required-attributes must be in the order of first name,
# last name, email ex: cn=first name, sn=last name, mail=email
ldap.required-attributes=cn,sn,mail
    The LDAP password is encrypted using the encr utility. This utility is provided along with other startup scripts in the /server/pentaho-server folder.
